It's my hope that this book inspire, uplift, inform, entertain, and destigmatize and decriminalize mental illness. When I was struggling in my darkest hours, it was books like this- mental health based memoirs- that helped me see there could be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you for anything you can do to help spread the good word on my book, Breakdown: A Therapist's Journey of Losing It and Finding It.
With much love and gratitude,
